If there's any benadryl (diphenhydramine) in sight, I get paradoxical effects with that, meaning it doesn't make me sleepy like it does with normal folks, it makes me wired af.

I read all these pieces written by women who talk about wanting to heal themselves for their children, their families, their community. So much emotional work just to make ourselves functional after being abused. What if ALL that emotional work could be directed to heal other parts of our world?

"What would it mean for women real and imagined to live without the weight of their abuse, without their unavoidable linkages to horrible men? What kind of difficult, mundane, incredible lives would they live?"

Can you imagine if women didn't have to use this energy for healing, how we could fix the world?

30 years of therapy have usually been enough to process it all and then you read something so powerful it digs into the next layers of your gunk to be processed next.

Use a stainless steel spoon and rub it in your hands like you would a bar of soap and it will get the smell off your skin.

Black childhoods matter, actually

More than your stupid fucking philosophical debate about whether American Eagle meant it or not

As A Brown University Alumnus, Let Me Say: Fuck This — Assigned A Brown alumnus recalls his time at the ‘gayest’ university and calls for the Brown community to stand united against the Trump deal.

A reminiscence on trans college life in the closet and a big fuck you to Brown University for trading the rights of their trans students to the Trump Administration in this special Sunday piece by @sandyernestallen.bsky.social.

And there are literally books and courses that will guide people to unlocking their creative process. They can learn to do this!

Blank notebook means I can design pages/spreads as i need. One week I can draw vertical days, another week I can just do various to-do lists.

I've searched Etsy for designed ones and done that before. I also love Plum Paper Planners. Now I just use a moleskine.

That the modern manosphere is heavily shaped by now divorced Gen X/Xennial guys angry specifically because it became socially unacceptable to behave how they did in the 90's without consequence should be example enough regarding what the culture was actually like back then.

And the best thing you could be was A Girl Who Is Cool With It

If you watched The Man Show with your boyfriend ... that's just tolerant girlfriend behavior. But if you LAUGHED? His buds would swear he won the girlfriend lottery.

Anyone talking about the 90s like it was a feminist haven free of a manosphere has clearly forgotten about what the 90s was actually like or never bothered to study it

Howard Stern really was the Joe Rogan of the era

Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel were also major contributors

"No matter where I lived, I knew this was guaranteed because after moving into a new place, we’d plug in our old box television, adjust the shitty little antenna just so, and voila, like magic, there was PBS. It was free."

hey does anybody know what the flag code says about hosing pigeon shit intentionally onto and into a united states flag. is that considered good

Black text on white background reading: Salt air, and the rust on your door, I never needed anything more.

I love bluesky but I guess I don't have nearly the swiftie connections that I do on Twitter cuz I've been looking for a skeet of August lyrics to repost and not finding a lot. So.

So much for summer love and saying 'us'
Cuz you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose

Awww, a little fledge!

Are you FUCKING kidding me? My teen can't use her phone at school for some bullshit "mental health" reason but now they're paying for a personal robot (AI chat) for her?

Is the spreadsheet easier than the shared calendar? Asking for a friend.

Guys doing incel maxxing shit when if you’re just a nice husky guy who likes to cook and isn’t an asshole you’ll have three women organizing an excel spreadsheet over when they get to sleep with you like how do you fumble this bag

Paid off a credit card like an actual adult. Then found out how much my insurance is going up per year with a teenage driver. Can I afford a new dryer in August? Or have to wait until September? It's always something.

This is so great

Yea, I think this was reported as being in Russia
